Salem Police Seek Public Assistance in Attempted Murder Investigation

Posted on February 13, 2026

Salem Police are seeking the community’s assistance in locating Daniel Ray Myers, 62, of Salem, in connection with an Attempted Murder investigation.

On February 10, 2026, at approximately 9:00 p.m., Myers and the victim were in his vehicle making online food delivery orders when he drove the victim to a secluded location in West Salem. The victim reported Myers attempted to sexually assault her, and when she resisted, he stabbed her multiple times. As the victim attempted to flee, he held her in the vehicle. The victim was able to convince Myers to let her go into the Walgreens in Keizer to obtain first aid items, where store staff called police on her behalf.

Upon police arrival, they found the victim, who was subsequently transported to Salem Hospital to have her injuries treated. Myers had fled the scene in his vehicle, and his current whereabouts are unknown. Meyers is driving a silver Honda Civic with Oregon license plate 241NGP. There is probable cause to arrest Myers for Attempted Murder in the Second Degree and other felony crimes.

Salem Police Violent Crimes Unit Detectives are asking anyone with information on Myers’ whereabouts to call the Salem Police Tips Line, (503) 588-8477, and reference case number SMP26012142.

It is likely that Myers has access to firearms. If you see Myers, please use caution, do not approach, and call 911.

The investigation is ongoing, and further inquiries should be directed to the Salem Police Communications Office.
